Marco (2010)

Since Bikenik, Uncommon Projects has become increasingly interested in local, urban, pedestrian mapping. We’ve decided to bootstrap the development of two mobile products - Marco and Steps - with the goal of refining the last 100 yards of wayfinding.

Marco is a free iPhone app that puts you and a friend on a map so you can find each other fast. Marco is the easiest way to Locate someone. It uses SMS to connect two smartphones to a shared map.

Features:

Recipient doesn’t need the app!

As simple as SMS

Private and “opt-in”

No accounts or social networking

Compatible with iPhone, Android and more

Marco wouldn’t have happened without the dedicated work of a talented team of folks.
